I guess that I am the exception and not the rule. I have more female friends than male, and my closest friend is also female. We have known each other since we were in high school, and have stayed in touch ever since. Granted we had a "relationship" for about a year and half, but even when that ended we stayed extremely close. I have also "met" several women online, both here, and back in the old school AOL chat rooms that I close friends with. Some I have met in person, others I have only had contact with on the internet, but I know that I would be there for them if they needed me, and they would do the same for me. With some there is a sexual attraction, and with others there is none, but it does not mean that we are more or less of friends.

If a man says that he cannot be "just friends" with a woman, then there is something wrong with him. I would not trade the friendships that I have developed over the years with these ladies for anything.

Your *friend's* contention has no basis in science. To the contrary, it reflects a profound (and terrifying) depth of ignorance and/or misogyny. Indeed, the real question is: from what delusional *faux-reality* did the need to verbalize such harassment originate?

My speculation is that it comes from a simmering sexual frustration and sense of inadequacy, not to mention a lack of self-control. My experience has been that as my sexuality became linked to deeper, more intimate relationships, my *desire* to have sex with every woman I encountered tempered. Much in the same way I morphed into a *wine snob*: once I tasted a mind-blowing varietal, the palate becomes more discriminatory.

Yes, we all have deep-seated sexual urges. But as intelligent and sentient creatures, we may not be able to control our emotions, but we can certainly control our actions....including the verbalization of such garbage to other humans.

We can be friends. It is usually just the male ego blurting out when it comes to that answer.

In my life time, I have found that a female friend is someone that I could confide in more so than a lot of males. Opposites attract?

There is someone in my life now that I am trying to be the best friend for. Difficult when they have a lifetime of trust issues to overcome. Many obstacles for that, but if it developed further, fine. If not, fine. Just trying to be there for her.

Yes men and woman can be friends and not be in a sexual relationship. One of my best friends is a woman. We are great friends but that's it.

We have two lives, and the second begins when we realise we have only one - Confucious

From the female perspective I have two male friends that started out from here. They were sexual fun in the beginning and as the friendship grew the urge to be physical kinda waned and we went our separate ways. But we are still long term friends and the benefits are now supportive, emotional, rational and the physical no longer matters as we all have moved forward . One of them was the recipient of the horror from March( Joy you know) and I truly found out what deep friendship we have nurtured. The other one still remains in touch as he is across the country.Distance matters not

If I can be friends with a man... I can be friends with a woman. Friendship is about caring for another person, TRULY caring about their feelings their happiness

The "Scientifically Speaking" part of the first sentence, where it is noted that Men answer NO, has some issues, based on what you have accumulated within this blog. I would say that "There Is" an obvious number of males whom can have women friends (and women have male friends) and not be sexual with each one of them. I would suggest that the Science by which the information was acquired in making this determination about NO for men, is inaccurate. Just Saying

I think it's entirely possible. It's just that for some guys, it can take a bit of work on their part and clear communication on both sides to get to that point.

Personally speaking, I think being able to be friends with someone of the opposite sex is an essential first step for any long-term relationship to work. And no, I don't mean using friendship as a stepping stone for becoming romantically involved. Friendship is one of the most basic forms of relationships, and if you can't be friends with someone of the opposite sex then pursuing anything more than that is going to be a rough haul.

I don't discriminate when it comes to choosing friends. Male.. female... I have equally few of either...
A lot of acquaintances though... Quite a few. Tons... But that's not the same, right?

I agree with Time Traveler, I have always been able to make friends with girls/women, never had a fear of them that is instilled in little boys in such a cruel manner as is still done! And have many female friends. I also have managed to remain friends with several women I had sex/relationships with too, in many case decades or more after our sexual fun ended.
Now male friends, I can count on one hand. And never had more than 3 or 4 at a time anytime in my life ! I have always intimidated men by my ease with women, something many men never achieve.

You always have well thought out and interesting topics and points of view .... so much so that I rarely can say anything more except to agree...... I agree ...BUT I still always find myself falling for the women even so.... I never act on it unless there is some obvious signs.... Since it hasnt happened I always hold to the friendship and handle all interfaces with the respect they deserve ....

Men and women cannot JUST be friends. She Friendzones him. A woman who friendzones a man, is not a woman being a mans friend.
The women I am friends with, we have sex. Fwb, is a true female friend.

Unlike children, before puberty, adult males would never approach a woman for anything long term if he was not sexually attracted to her.

Typical reasoning women say to men: "If we have sex, that will ruin the friendship".

No. What any woman is really saying: "If we have sex, that will ruin [for me] getting your attention for free".

In my opinion, a woman who will not have sex with you, is not really your friend.

Are there exceptions? Yes. "Old men and women", and "Gay men". Since "Old" can be subjective, I'll let you figure when "Old" happens. But once "Old" sets in, me lose their testosterone - no more sex drive, and women go through menopause, many lose interest in having sex.
"Gay men" [bisexual counts as gay] he'll be woman's friend, no problem.

All the men saying, "You can be friends", are , by their own admission, gay [looking for men and women sex], and all are over age 45. So they have lowering or zero'd out testosterone levels, so sex is no longer a priority.

So can men and women just be friends? NO!! Under normal healthy circumstances, he will want to have sex with the woman.
If he is friendzoned and doesn't walk away [because someone shamed him into always being a nice guy], he stays close hoping one day she will change her mind and have sex with him. Of course the woman will tell him about the men she's going out with , and ask for advice, and he'll put on the , "Big brother/protector" , act ....still hoping he can one day get his cock sucked.

I prefer to be an asshole. I don't approach women to be her friend, first. Women are for sex. So, If a woman says, "If we have sex that will ruin the friendship".... I tell her to get lost.

Even you have said , "They want to have sex, but I said no". They didn't walk away, so you "Friendzoned" them. But I guarantee you , if you go up to any of them and whisper in his hear, "I want to suck your cock".... he will drop his pants.

    Quoting  :

No... If there is no more testosterone, or very low testosterone there can be no sex.
No, it isn't complicated at all, if she is really your friend. A woman tells you being friends after sex will be complicated , because she is not interested in seeing you naked at all... the woman just wants your attention for free.

Chances are she has a reputation of putting out. Word gets around and guess what.

I have quite a few female friends, some I have dated and been intimate with. One was introduced to a male friend they married. Two others had married as well as my ex, that I am good friends with their current husbands. They have no problem with me. But a couple female friends say I can not be friends with ex's or old girl friends because they still want to be more than just friends with me.
